The story of Jessica Oakes and her 21-year-old son Deavin is a chilling reminder of the tragic consequences that can result from the implementation of dangerous medical protocols and policies during a so-called pandemic crisis. Deavin, a young man who battled cystic fibrosis with resilience and humor, ultimately lost his life in a healthcare system that appeared to prioritize profit over compassion and proper care. Jessica’s heartbreaking account, shared with Gail Seiler of the COVID Humanity Betrayal Memory Project (CHBMP), reveals a family’s desperate fight for their son’s life amid a system seemingly driven by financial incentives from the PREP and CARES Acts.

When Deavin tested positive for COVID-19, despite being asymptomatic, his life took a harrowing turn. He was denied critical dialysis, setting off a chain of events that led to multiple hospital visits. At every turn, Jessica was aggressively pressured to sign a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order for her son, who she believed still had the will and ability to fight for his life. Throughout this ordeal, Jessica and her family began to suspect that the hospitals were not only withholding essential medication and care but were also administering dangerous Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) drugs that were part of the protocol. Jessica rejected drugs like like remdesivir, a drug with a black box warning that was given to patients admitted for COVID often without informed consent. Medical records are still being sought after to discover everything that was given to Deavin while he was isolated in the hospital. .

As Deavin’s health declined, his family’s fears grew, as they realized that the healthcare system they had trusted was now jeopardizing Deavin’s life. The young man who once made everyone laugh was now fighting for every breath, with his mother by his side. The situation reached a heartbreaking climax when a doctor turned off Deavin’s life support without consent, leaving Jessica to hold her son as he took his last breath. In the aftermath, Jessica has been left grappling with grief, a sense of injustice, and the knowledge that her family is not alone in their suffering.

The CHBMP, driven by a Task Force of victims and their loved ones, is committed to putting an end to these inhumane and profit-driven practices. The hundreds of documented cases reveal a healthcare system that has seemingly lost sight of its purpose: to protect and heal the vulnerable. Each story is a call to action, a plea to ensure that the vulnerable are protected, and a demand for accountability for those responsible for these atrocities.

We must amplify the voices of those like Deavin and Jessica, and express our solemn outrage at the forced administration of deadly EUA drugs without informed consent. By documenting and sharing these stories, we can help prevent further unnecessary suffering.

If you or a loved one has been harmed by COVID-related protocols or policies, the CHBMP implores you to document your story at CHBMP.org. Each account serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that we must join together to ensure that these unimaginable tragedies are neither forgotten nor repeated.
